Journal Entry for October 5, 2007 Mood
Friday, October 5, 2007

today feeling pretty good. found out this wk not only c6-7 disk herniation which i knew a yr ago but also have bulge at c2-3, moderate bulge c5-6, nerve root compression c6-7 AND to top it off, rheumatoid arthritis.  somehwat relieved though because now i understand why i've had so many problems and the severity of them.  just couldn't understand why i was having the dizzy spells, nausea, headaches, vomiting, unable to hold head up or stand up sometimes for hours. start the duragesic patch this w/end also bumped my anti-inflammatory (indocin) up from 25 mg 2x/day to 50 mg 2x/day, only been a couple days but, it is helping. i have pain today, well, more uncomfortable but alot better than a week ago.
